Planning Design Studio's office is located in the historic Raeder Place Building on Laclede's Landing. The character and location of our office provides a unique environment that fosters creative yet practical design solutions while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and the application of green principles.

As Landscape Architects we have applied design principles and sustainability practices, now called "green", throughout our collective careers. Whether it be the cooling of parking lot environments through the use of canopy trees; the reduction in client heating costs due to building orientation on a site for solar gain in the winter; or the use of recycled concrete for new trail construction material; our approach is not dictated by what is trendy, but by our professional ethics of conservation, stewardship to the land and enhancement of the interface between man and nature.

We are focused on operating our business with sustainable methods. Some of these methods include recycling 80% of our office byproducts, striving to reduce paper printing by using electronic communication and documentation and serving water in a glass to our guests. During an office visit you may even notice our computers utilize energy efficient search engines, backgrounds and screensavers.

We strive to practice what we preach, in the office, in the field and on your project, advocating "green" design principles, aesthetics, sustainability, resource stewardship and most importantly, creative site planning and design solutions.
